3M 7000118435 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit Ceramic 24x1/2 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000118435 is a coated abrasive belt designed for demanding stock removal and metal finishing applications. It uses a blend of ceramic abrasive grain and aluminum oxide that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure grinding and performs well on heat-sensitive metals including stainless steel. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup during use. This belt can be run dry or with a lubricant, making it adaptable to a wide range of shop and fabrication environments. Metalworkers, fabricators, and grinding machine operators are the primary users.

This abrasive belt is suited for stock removal, weld blending, surface conditioning, and metal finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Its ceramic grain blend makes it particularly effective on stainless steel, hard alloys, and other materials that challenge standard aluminum oxide belts. The belt is intended for use on belt grinders and finishing machines in industrial, fabrication, and machine shop settings where consistent cut rate and belt life are priorities.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend delivers faster cut rates and longer service life than standard aluminum oxide belts
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure applications without breakdown
• Built-in grinding aid reduces heat generation, extending performance on stainless steel and heat-sensitive metals
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend belt life between changes
• Runs wet or dry for flexibility across different grinding setups
• Produces more parts per belt, reducing downtime from frequent belt changes

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and abrasive belt machines that accept a 24-inch length by 1/2-inch width abrasive belt. Confirm machine belt size specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the machine manufacturer's guidelines. Power down and de-energize the belt grinder completely before changing belts. Confirm belt tracking and tension are set correctly before resuming operation. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves during belt changes and grinding operations.
